Lincoln Center Craft Festival - A dream come true!

Almost a year ago my mother and I took a day trip to NYC and came upon the Lincoln Center American Crafts Festival. It was pouring rain but we decided to stop and take a look. By this point I had just opened my etsy store and was planning on participating in a local craft show that fall. My mother has always taught me that if you are going to do something - do it all the way! As we were walking around admiring the amazing crafts - I realized that I wanted to be here. Do you ever get the feeling that something is going to happen? That is how I felt! Fast forward to Jan. I worked on my inventory, tent, pics (Thanks KimberlyVPhotography) and applied.I started screaming and jumping up and down when I found out I had been accepted. I am bust preparing and will be there June 26th and 27th. I feel very lucky to have done Crafts on Columbus because I walked away with so much knowledge of what I can add to make it an even more successful show! I can't wait! Please come and visit. I also have started a facebook page Pleasssssssssssseeeeeeeeeee join!

I will announce a giveaway tomorrow for the first 20 fans - so stay tune!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

My babygirl had her sixth birthday yesterday and it was so bittersweet! I am so happy for her as she is surrounded by such sweet friends. It is so reassuring to see Jessie's great taste in friends. The room was filled with sixteen kindergarden girls and they laughed like crazy! I will miss this age of true joy!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers! What a blessing to be a Mom!

Columbus Arts Festival Report

I apologize for my belated report on the Columbus Avenue Art Fair. The first day was fabulous - sun shining and such great people cam by our tent - Moms, kids, grandmas and even fabric lovers. Everything went well - our tent stayed up, everything fit in the car, credit card machine worked and our craft neighbors were wonderful. The best part was talking to everyone who visited the tent - they really seemed to like my skirts and DH even said to me "they get you here"! He's still a little unsure - but it was fun. I could sit in NYC and people watch all day - the fashion that people wore from funky to high end was a show in itself and so inpiring!

Unfortunately on Sunday it was thunderstorms all day. We drove into the city just in case but it was a downpour. We ended up at an upperwestside diner for breakfast and local indoor flea market - it was a nice morning, but I would have preferred to set up our tent. I have the video below of our tent, I thought I was taking a picture and the video was on. I will do better in June. Where in June...? Stay tune tomorrow....

We have gone viral....

We finished our website jessiegirlclothing.com just in time for this weekend! Please check it out and let me know what you think! Back the sewing room...
